Visitor says she was sexually assaulted in Mission Beach

SAN DIEGO – A 39-year-old woman from out-of-town said she was sexually assaulted by two men Wednesday night in Mission Beach after leaving Belmont Park, police said.

The assault was reported to San Diego police by hospital staff about 11:30 p.m. when the woman sought medical treatment for the assault, which she said occurred about three hours earlier in an alley off Santa Barbara Place near Ocean Front Walk.

San Diego police spokeswoman Mónica Muñoz said the woman was unable to recall many details of the incident, and police did not know if she walked with the men to the alley or got into a vehicle with them.

Police hoped to re-interview her Thursday “provided we can reach her and she's willing to talk to us,” Muñoz said.

“Sometimes when people experience traumatic things, they have trouble remembering,” Muñoz said.

No detailed description of the suspects was available.

Muñoz said she did not know the woman's hometown. The victim was released from the hospital after treatment.
